"Portrait of Semiramis, Empress of Babylon - Oil on Canvas" Painting

Rooted in engineering and computer science, my path veered far from the expected, weaving through seven countries across three continents—each place imprinting its soul upon my art. From the hushed reverence of MoMA’s halls in New York to the vibrant chaos of Dubai’s Flea Markets; from the ancient whispers of Amman’s Suqs to the timeless charm of France and Cyprus; from Berlin’s Berlinale to London’s Tate Modern—I have absorbed the pulse of culture, the language of form, and the stories whispered by light and shadow. Art for me is more than visual delight—it is the salt of life, a sanctuary amidst turmoil. That first encounter with a Caravaggio painting was nothing short of a revelation, a moment when disparate pieces of my existence crystallized into purpose. From that instant, I became a seeker and maker—driven by an almost eccentric devotion to democratizing art, to making its profound beauty accessible beyond the gilded walls reserved for the privileged few. My work emerges from a place slightly removed from the world’s noise—an intimate orbit where creativity thrives in solitude and subtle defiance. Each painting is an act of quiet rebellion and heartfelt expression, infused with layers that reveal themselves slowly, like a whispered secret. My palette is both a mirror and a window—reflecting my inner landscape as well as inviting viewers into a shared experience of transformation. I live with a disability that has shaped not only my perspective but the very essence of my artistry. It compels me to explore new dimensions of form and emotion, often blurring conventional boundaries. My paintings are imbued with this unique vision—a fusion of passion, precision, and an unspoken mystery that captivates the eye and stirs the soul. Inviting my art into your space is to welcome an unpredictable energy—a burst of creativity that animates interiors with authenticity and depth. Whether through bold abstracts that challenge perception or serene landscapes that soothe the spirit, each piece resonates with a story untold, waiting to unfold within your environment. In every brushstroke lies a fragment of my journey—a cosmopolitan odyssey shaped by curiosity, resilience, and an unyielding belief that art belongs to all hearts, not just the privileged few.
